Only two other regular season games in the history of the NFL had more viewers than Thanksgiving's 4:30 p.m. contest. The Dallas Cowboys played host to their NFC East rivals the Washington Commanders on Thursday, and for the third-consecutive year, over 40 million tuned into the contest. The clash averaged 41.438 million viewers during the 45-10 Dallas victory, while peaking at 44.265 million people tuned in. But it wasn't just football that people were tuned in for, as the game featured country music legend Dolly Parton performing at halftime. The Cowboys are now 8-3 on the season, while Washington dropped to 4-8.
